Note the left side of motorcycle helmet and front of equestrian lid…(the irregularly shaped hole on left is NOT supposed to be there, it could have been in my skull!)

I have two more from childhood, those pretty black velvet riding helmets used by people like Christopher Reeve who get their kicks flying over jumps on a 1500lb. animal that has a mind of its own…

Then when your bratty horse refuses to jump (I have well-behaved trusty steeds now), an epic launch occurs, propelling you torpedo-like into mid-air flight which often results in flattening the cute little nob on top of the helmet. I wonder if that’s why they put it there? Like an indicator it’s time to buy a new one?

Speaking of archives…being an aspiring neuroscientist, I wanted to find out the extent of damage to my noggin. After a couple thousand dollars, an hour of data collection strung up to 19 electrodes, and weeks of post processing, here is just one page of my QEEG results (as seen on my computer screen):

Note how the areas with issues correspond to the dings on my helmets that resulted in a 150% increase in the ADHD index compared to norms.

That means I’m special, LOL! This evaluation was done after a year of neurofeedback training, folks, but at least I’m functioning off meds. Can you imagine what it might have looked like before? And I’ve made a lot of progress since (stay tuned for updated report).

Do you have any of these symptoms?

Symptoms of TBI usually fall into four categories:

Thinking/

Remembering

Physical

Emotional/Mood

Sleep

Difficulty thinking clearly

Headache
Fuzzy or blurry vision

Irritability

Sleeping more than usual

Feeling slowed down

Nausea or vomiting
(early on)
Dizziness

Sadness

Sleep less than usual

Difficulty concentrating

Sensitivity to noise or light
Balance problems

More emotional

Trouble falling asleep

Difficulty remembering new information

Feeling tired, having no energy

Nervousness or anxiety

***Some of these symptoms may appear right away, while others may not be noticed for days or months after the injury, or until the person starts resuming their everyday life and more demands are placed upon them.

Neurofeedback Research

For many, Neurofeedback has only recently been "discovered" but it has been around for decades. Over the course of years, literally thousands of research studies have been done that have proven Neurofeedback's power in addressing a variety of disorders ranging from epilepsy to autism to migraines to ADD/ADHD.
